Cocktails, the libationary art!

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.

If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.

Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.

Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:

Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.

A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.

On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

My adult daughter is ending her "year of no brain damage" that was her resolution for 2023 (she said no drinks no drugs no COVID no hitting her head on anything, and actually pulled it off) and asked me for a blue margarita, so that's one. If I get to the store today, I may have a margarita with champagne (margarita sbagliato?) or a kir royale. If not, I have a bottle of club soda & will make something fizzy with that. We'll probably have crackers and cheese, sardines and other fish stuff for food, not having an actual party this year.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure.

Leaning towards a Sour (Whisky or Amaretto are my favorites), or something creamy like a Brandy Alexander.
